Absolutely spot on all round. A lovely house in an ideal and peaceful spot on Isis lake. It’s clean, airy and has a lovely terrace to sit on overlooking the lake. A short walk to the playground, tennis courts and short cut to South Cerney… It has all the amenities you need plus fast wifi. TV is a little basic so would recommend taking a firestick to access Netflix/Amazon etc if you need that – but otherwise a really great stay.

We would wholly recommend and most likely to book again in the near future.

This was a great choice from start to finish. The team at Orion holidays were polite and helpful every time we contacted them.
The property exceeded our expectations – spacious, bright, clean and very comfortable for our party of 8 – with lovely views.
The Lower Mill estate was a great place to stay with a perfect balance of activities and space for rest/relaxation.  We would highly recommend this holiday.

Everything from start to finish was brilliant. The customer service from the team at Orion holidays was amazing, really helpful and happy to answer any questions I had. I was planning this stay for my dad’s 70th birthday so I wanted to make sure everything was perfect, and it really was! The house we stayed in was absolutely stunning, gorgeous views over the lake and it was spotlessly clean! We had the best time and would 100% stay again, can’t recommend enough! Thank you!

We had an extremely relaxing week on the Lower Mill Estate despite the changeable weather.  The lodge was an ideal base for walking through the nature reserve, cycling and swimming. All of the information we received from Orion Holidays was clear and useful. We will definitely book with them again.

We enjoyed our stay at Lakeside 19. The location is excellent looking out onto the lake, and is also very peaceful. The property was well maintained and we found it very comfortable. The Restaurant on the lake was very good. Thank you.

My wife and I took our adult daughter away for a relaxing holiday and we weren’t disappointed. The house was delightful, bright and airy and very comfortable in every respect. The local area provided us with plenty of places to visit on trips out.
Orion Holidays made everything very smooth and staff were helpful and quick to respond to a query we raised, their information app was very helpful and we used their Discount Card at the Boathouse Restaurant and Waterside Cafe. All in all a very enjoyable holiday for us all.

This is not our first time staying in this cottage – we keep coming back because it is just perfect!  Lower Mill is a fantastic place – it has something for everyone, be it relaxing with a drink whilst looking out of the lake, water sports / activities, country walks, swimming, spa and tennis. There are plenty of good restaurants in the area as well as one on site (Balihoo – which we love). We would highly recommend staying here!

We loved everything about this property/the area and would highly recommend. The property had the ‘wow’ factor and was well equipped with everything we needed. The lakes are stunning and there was so much to do for all the family…….we’ll definitely be back!! Thank you to everyone at Orion holidays from the Joseph family.

This was a family gathering of eight for a special birthday. The location was perfect on a beautiful lake with plenty of wildlife to enjoy and a cuckoo calling in the background.
The accommodation worked perfectly and had everything we needed for our stay including games, boules and tennis racquets. There were plenty of local activities and a good choice of places to eat and a large Tesco was only a short drive away. We are already planning our next visit.

We stayed at this gorgeous house for a family weekend to celebrate my mums 75th birthday. We had family aged from 18 months to 80 and the house was perfect. The owners have such style and everything so well thought through. We all enjoyed the hot tub and eating dinner on the upstairs decking. Beds were lovely and the master bed rooms were gorgeous. Orion holidays were organised and friendly when we called them. We will definitely be back and use them again.

From the moment we booked, the professionalism of Orion holidays was amazing. Just before we arrived we were told our holiday home was ready well in advance of the expected arrival time, which was fabulous.  My son in laws and grandson enjoyed the fishing on Isis lake. There was plenty to do for the young and not so young. There was lots of information in the house about walks in the area, which we did every day. The cleanliness and equipment in the house felt like home from home. We will definitely return very soon. Would most definitely recommend 😀😀

The house was well presented and comfortable. The unimpeded view over the lake, complete with resident heron and other wildlife added to the charm of the location.

This is a lovely house with 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. It was really clean and well stocked. The views across the lake are gorgeous and there were good paths around the site.

We used the table tennis table, pool tables and tennis courts – there was a nice looking playground for younger visitors. Had to ring Orion help line once during the stay and go the answer I needed quickly which was great.

A bunch of good friends from our village had a fabulous weekend away. We were all really impressed with how well equipped the house was. We had a fabulous relaxing break and enjoyed the local amenities and the hot tub. Orion’s customer service was excellent when the fridge/freezer stopped working and they sourced temporary alternatives.

We stayed for a long weekend and the property and found it well equipped, comfortable and a perfect configuration for our group.

Flexibility on the bed arrangements with twins being available was really useful, well finished bathrooms, a lovely log burner with logs, fab hot tub on the roof terrace, great views of the lake with a peaceful view of the wild fowl from the big windows meant we could have a really relaxing time.

We stayed at the property last year with another family and we all enjoyed the break so much that we have just visited again! Loved all the facilities on site, including the Spa, gym, inside and outside swimming pools and tennis courts. Would definately return.

We had a really wonderful stay. We were two families and were a bit worried that it was going to feel small for us but it was actually a really good size. The terrace is amazing and we’d love to come back in the summer to fully enjoy it. We found lots of lovely things to do nearby and it was great not having to take the car everywhere.

Location was perfect! Central on the estate so 30 sec walk to spa, gym, restaurant. Stunning views over the lake. Beautiful property. Visit from staff when we arrived just to check everything was ok was appreciated. Will definitely return to lower mill estate.

The house is in a quiet location on the lake and feels very private. All the bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms and are comfortable with tranquil decor.
As a large group we never run out of glasses, crockery etc. the kitchen has everything you could possibly need for a self catering break – it’s better equipped than my kitchen at home!
The Orion team are helpful and deliver excellent customer service year on year.
We love our breaks here and continue to return.

Had a wonderful stay at Mill Village 70, Horse Shoe. The view was the best thing, changing all the time with beautiful an sunrises and sunsets and lots of different birdlife to watch. The cottage was warm and comfortable despite the weather doing its winter worst for much of the time. Well equipped kitchen, fast Wifi, comfortable bed. Everything I needed to make my stay a complete pleasure.

Perfect for outdoor people…lots of walking trails, cycling, watersports.  Property was clean, well equipped and comfy.  Love the fact dogs had to be kept on lead in the park and around the lakes!
Would definitely recommend this site.  Owners/receptionist are very polite and helpful!

This beautiful upside down house had everything our family could possibly need. Being a dog friendly property there was a stair gate, and even a ball and treats for the dog. The highlight for me had to be unwinding in the hot tub on the decking overlooking the beautiful lake.  The house is located within yards of the spa, restaurant and pizza hut plus children’s playground & tennis courts.

“We were very impressed with the lodge. We were able to have all of our family members to stay for my wife’s 80th Birthday which is exactly what she wanted. Also able to have close friends visit her throughout the weekend. We are thinking about making it an annual event, which was suggested by my Daughter and sons. We were lucky with the weather which made it perfect for our grandchildren especially with the jacuzzi. Thank you for a perfect weekend.”

“The property is set in a very peaceful gated estate which was impeccably clean. There are good free activities on-site, including a children’s playground, tennis courts, table tennis & an indoor area with 2 pool tables & table football. There is free fishing on site (mixed course, carp & fly fishing).  Five mins walk is a lake with kayaking, canoeing & stand up paddle boards. We also visited the nearby Cotswold County Park & Beach for the Aqua adventure session – brilliant! ”

Isis Lake is well situated for trips to Bath, Cheltenham, Oxford and of course the whole of the Cotswolds. Close by there is a very good selection of pubs and eateries. The Crown at Cerney Wick is excellent.”

“We stayed in number 87 for a week. It was wonderful; very relaxing, just what we needed. The house was very comfortable with lots of thoughtful touches. The scrabble even had a pen and paper! Loved the Bluetooth speaker table. My husband enjoyed fishing every day and I was happy to read, crochet, listen to music, enjoy the view and walk the dog – plenty of places to walk locally. Thoroughly recommend and hope to return soon.”

It’s ideal for a family.  There are two bathrooms. It is also quiet but with access to all kinds of facilities nearby from water sports to walking and cycling. There is an extensive range of eating places. Also nearby is the Cotswold Country Park and Beach. Highly recommended.”

The kitchen was so well equipped, and every gadget was top quality. In fact, everything exceeded our expectations. I definitely would not hesitate on booking again and can’t wait to go back again.”

“Our 3rd time in the Cotswolds and it never disappoints. The Landings is one of the best houses we’ve stayed in – really spacious and everything you need inside, as well as a fabulous decking area that got the sun all day and well into the evening. The hot tub was great and maintained every day. Both Orion and the owner of the property were excellent. Would fully recommend this property & Orion to all my friends & family! “
